"very well trained"
I keep on seeing this bullshit about those hyper-excellent petitioners, and it's true, because they all seem to be friends of mine from New York City. The bullshit part is the one about highly trained. Gathering petition signatures requires mainly the arcane skill of successfully using a ballpoint pen. Everything else someone needs to know can be explained, literally, in ten minutes.
And while we're on the subject, I've now been told repeatedly that Jimmy's signatures were completely unassailable due to the sterling, upstanding nature in which they were collected. So it's quite amusing to me that the BoE threw out 243 of his signatures immediately, leaving him with a cushion of 165, which can now be challenged in court.
